That's a difficult one. Yes, we take short term visitors to one or two (definitely not all). Longer term visitors we'd take to a real floating market nearer Bangkok.

All 5 attractions are plastic, so it depends what you are looking for.

Ok. That one has struggled, I think, because it lacked a major attraction. No mini railway, no elephant rides, nothing much happening on the lake and wooden walkways were becoming dangerous. Last time I went, many shops had jumped ship due to lack of customers. Can't really see how they can rejuvenate it.

The markets on the outskirts of HH are good for the tour buses crowds. and the Plearnwan is
a bit outdated, but good for visitors and out of towners on their first visits.
I heard one of my 4 year old nieces in Bangkok singing about the Plastic attractions, well what she actually sang was "Tits of plastic, they're fantastic". I think it was some other song, but sure made me chuckle.
